ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 July 2000
Villa survive a late sending off to beat FK Příbram at The Hawthorns and reach the Intertoto semi final.
In the expectation of a low crowd and with works taking place at Villa Park, Villa make use of neighbour’s West Brom’s Hawthorns stadium for the visit of Příbram. For the second successive game Villa have a player sent off with Paul Merson following on from Mark Delaney, much to the chagrin of boss John Gregory.
Belgian international forward Luc Nilis, 33, makes a goalscoring Villa debut of much promise after joining from PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer earlier in July 2000 to become the 745th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Paul Merson is sent off for the 1st time in a Villa shirt on his 73rd appearance (58 Starts) to make it W31 D20 L22, 10 Goals, 11 Assists, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

TEAM NEWS
TEAM STATS
Villa hand a debut to Luc Nilis and recall Gareth Southgate as Mark Delaney (suspension) and Jlloyd Samuel drop out. Despite fielding 19 year old Gareth Barry, the first XI is an extremely 'experienced' one with an average age of 28.97 years old - a concern for a team that had already demonstrably shown that lasting the distance over a full season was its achilles heel.
